Acknowledgments
I wish to thank Professor Alan Crown for his good advice and guidance on this project over the years. I also thank those many friends who read and commented on my work, as well as the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion, my Congregation. These include Frances Muecke for help with the Latin translations, Lucy Davey for her help, and Jim and Frances Scarano for assisting me with the artwork of the modified maps.
